So recently my fiance and I decided that for wedding attire for the wedding party everyone pays their own way. We told everyone today, who is in the wedding party, and one of my in laws (her girls...

We got married almost 2 weeks ago. It was truly an amazing day! But seriously it flew by and of course now I'm just reliving the day in my head. One thing that bothered me was that so many of our...

I have been dreaming of a cherry blossom-themed wedding for 12 years. I'm finally planning my wedding with a white and light blush pink palette. My matron of honor has agreed to wear pink and my...

Best last minute suggestions to keep guests warm during reception. It’s an outdoor reception in Georgia which until this week has been steadily staying between 70s/high 50s. Now it’s dipped to...

Hi All, Would appreciate an ear and any advice you have. I got married almost a month ago and two things happened that really bothered me. 1. A really good friend blew off our wedding. First it took...

We will be getting married tomorrow, but I feel sad. My mother and father in law won’t be there. They never asked to come nor have called to show support. It hurts. They showed up for their other sons...
